Could you one the propellor masters please have a look on this NZ website and tell me what prop would be similar to a 542 ACME for my 88 SN 2001??

	That site is just importing the Austral Props from Australia. Austral Props Australia I'm not sure but I think the taper on Aus/NZ prop shafts may be different to US shafts. If you have a genuine shaft you may have to get the prop machined to order. Check with Austral direct about the taper they will know. They do make a 13"x 12 and a 13" X 11.5 but how they match up to the Acme 3 blade props is unknown. Austral may be able to give you advice here also.

	The Acme 542 is 13x11.5, wich because of it wide blades/cup design plus the CNC machining would make it a replacement for 13x12 non CNC propellers. It's also made of Nybral wich is Nickel/bronce(aluminium alloy The thing is if these props you're looking at are CNC or not, I'd try getting the ACME.
